The key elements of the F&J quality assurance program for the manufacture of TEDA impregnated charcoal and silver zeolite cartridges utilized in the collection of airborne radioactive iodine species in power plant atmospheres include the following:

1.Testing is performed on every batch of adsorbent material

2.Testing is performed at different flow rates in order to have representative data across the flow range utilized by power plant personnel.

3.Integration of new batch data from individual batches into data of all previous batches.

4.Development of data for different sampling scenarios

5.Determination of “Pressure Drop” data vs. flowrate for each type of adsorbent material.

6.Creation of graphical representation of the collection efficiency vs. flow data and determination of mathematical equations that represent the efficiency vs. flow relationship.

The phosphoric acid production obtained by attacking phosphate rock by sulphuric acid cogenerates considerable quantities of phosphogypsum. The world cogeneration is estimated about 100–280 Mt per year. In another context of sustainable development, the phosphate chemical industry develops different ways of phosphogypsum valorization, which makes its storage stack in a suitable way for its potential use as an industrial by-product. Although, this storage can cause an environmental impact largely due to the...

Biological filter beds usually consist of a mineral media over which effluent to be treated percolates. The media becomes host to a biomass which is grazed by a series of more complex organisms. If the growth of the biomass is greater than the rate at which the grazing occurs then the biomass film will accumulate in the bed. This will block the interstices of the media and restrict effluent drainage and ventilation of the bed. Under these conditions nitrification is usually the first thing to suffer, however...

The safety of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and foodstuffs may be compromised by chemical compounds in the various types of packaging and food contact materials (FCMs) that are in direct contact with the consumer product.
Due to continuously increasing global regulations, the characterization of extractables and leachables from packaging and FCMs has become more critical than ever for the manufacturers that supply the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries.
These chemical compounds are typically categorized...

Liquid cooled engines and rotating equipment use glycol based coolants because of their excellent heat transfer abilities. However, glycol based coolants are not desirable at all in lubrication oil itself – Coolant ingression to the lubricant is a particularly nasty contaminant for the variety of damage it can cause. Glycol coolants break down in the high temperature engine environment, leading to formation of glycolic acids. These acids attack nonferrous bearing surfaces and form metal salts. The acids...

Locally manufactured ceramic water filters are one effective household drinking water treatment technology. During manufacturing, silver nanoparticles or silver nitrate are applied to prevent microbiological growth within the filter and increase bacterial removal efficacy. Currently, there is no recommendation for manufacturers to test silver concentrations of application solutions or filtered water. We identified six commercially available silver test strips, kits, and meters, and evaluated them by: (1) measuring...
